Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is a particularly attractive example of epigenetic regulation leading to the parental-origin-specific expression of genes. In several ways, the 11p15 imprinted region is an exemplary model for regulation of genomic imprinting. The two imprinted domains are controlled by imprinting control regions (ICRs) which carry opposite germ line imprints and they are regulated by two major mechanisms of...
